Imagine a painter with a color palette of just black and white. A writer restricted to a 100-word vocabulary. A songwriter trying to compose with a 22-key piano. Or an architect trying to advance rainscreen and cavity wall applications with limited continuous insulation options. It's not a black-and-white world. That's why architects and specifiers should cheer the news that the world of continuous insulation (ci) is about to expand. For building projects that demand outstanding comfort, occupant safety, and sustainability, a new generation of mineral wool ci boards offer even more ways to express creativity without compromising envelope safety and performance. 90-90 A Brief History of Canadian Architecture Witold Rybczynski$1; $1@; ; Canadian Modern Architecture: 1967 to the Present (Princeton Architectural Press, 2019) is a bulky little tome that is neither a directory nor a considered history but rather a survey of hundreds of buildings, large and small, public and private, important and obscure. The book is organized chronologically, thematically, and regionally, and includes essays by 17 different authors: academics, critics, and journalists. This large squad of scribblers is necessary because Canada is simply too large geographically, and too diverse culturally, to have a single coherent architectural story.
